Tip: If you are manually transferring content, because the downloading to all your VR devices takes too much time or cannot be handled by your internet connection, only download the content you uploaded into your account to one of your VR headsets. Afterwards, locate the file on the VR headset and copy it to your desktop. Perform step 1 from above by pasting this file into the “cloud” folder within the EZ360 folder of your other VR headsets (this way the file naming will be the same as the EZ360 cloud solution would name it). This way, the downloading on the VR headsets will be skipped and all other EZ360 functionalities (VR Sync, Analytics, etc) will work just fine!
